Chapter 246: Withdrawing
"Since the founding of the Republic of China, the rebel party has been constantly moving to overthrow the republic and achieve its goal of mob dictatorship. Break the reason for intolerance. Today, the heir is leading all the military and people in Anhui to appeal to the central government, do not give in to the south, and at the critical moment, use force to maintain the situation of the unification of the Republic of China! ”
As Ni Sichong sent a telegram with a tough attitude, he sent a telegram asking the central government to use force against the south.
"Marshal, intercept the State Department's telegram." Wang Yuhai walked into the headquarters with a telegram with a solemn face.
"Is there bad news again?" Qin Yu asked.
"Duan Qirui intends to convene another meeting of the Overseers in Tianjin." Wang Yuhai said.
Qin Yu's brows furrowed, "What's Feng Guozhang's reaction over there?" "Duan Qirui alone, Qin Yu is not afraid, although Duan Qirui is the leader of the Anhui family, but he does not directly command the army at this time, but if Feng Guozhang is added, the meaning is completely different, the two, plus the old friendship with Wang Shizhen, Wang Shizhen will definitely stand on Feng Duan's side.
Since Yuan Shikai and below, the Beiyang Group has three people with the highest prestige, and the local overseers who can be called on are not the same, at least at this time, there are still a considerable number of people who do not want to see their young man holding the power of the central government.
Feng Guozhang has an army under his direct command in his hands, and some things can create a completely different situation with just an introduction.
"Feng Guozhang has agreed to go north." Wang Yuhai's face was unprecedentedly solemn, since Duan Qirui sent a telegram to Feng Guozhang that the fourth brother was coming, Feng Guozhang did not hesitate much and immediately set off for the north.
When Feng Guozhang went north, his old subordinate Li Chun, and Wang Zhanyuan, who favored his direct lineage, had just surrendered. Zhang Wensheng of Xuzhou, who was under the control of Feng Guozhang, also telegraphed to the central government to send troops to Hunan.
"Fuck, it's really good to bully, open power generation, the Northeast Army will transfer two more divisions to Beijing at any time! Didn't Duan Qirui want to convene another meeting of the Overseer Corps in Tianjin, and use three flying teams to give me a ride over Tianjin. Qin Yu put out the cigarette in his hand in the ashtray road. It's a style that doesn't just talk. I want to see how united these old Beiyang are. ”
However, even if Qin Yu behaved a little tougher, Cao Kun, who had just gotten the benefits, did not squeak again, but he did not say that he wanted to oppose the central government, but he was just a neutral faction impartially.
Three squads of Beacon bombers appeared in the sky over Tianjin, and nearly forty planes appeared at the same time, and it was the first time in the history of the Republic of China that such a large-scale group of planes shocked not only Duan Qirui, Feng Guozhang and others. Even Japan, which guessed that Tohoku had a fleet of aircraft, could not help but be shocked. In order to share the pressure of Duan Qirui. Japan openly accused Mukden of intending to undermine the peace situation in Guannei and categorically did not allow Mukden to use force against Tianjin. At the same time, the pace of support for Duan Qirui was accelerated.
Duan Qirui was very upset about the scene of the Fengtian machine group showing off its might in Tianjin, but there was nothing he could do, and the meeting of the Governor's Corps originally planned to be held in Tianjin was moved to Luoyang, Henan. For a time, there was a trend of wind and rain in all directions. With Duan Qirui and Feng Guozhang attending the meeting of the Overseers at the same time, the voices of the Northern Overseers could easily reach an agreement. Compared with the last time, Zhang Xun's gold content is much higher.
Fujian, Jiangxi. Hubei, Shandong, Henan, Shaanxi, Zhejiang, Jiangxi. Anhui and other provinces have generated electricity for the main battle, and for a time the Beiyang Group had a great tendency to prosper. Zhili, Hebei, and Rehe are forced by the pressure of Fengtian due to their proximity to Fengtian. Silence for the time being.
Some things are most afraid of following the trend, although Qin Yu announced that he would transfer two more divisions to Beijing, and he has an absolute strength in the area of Beijing, but the strength of the two systems of Zhiwan and Anhui combined, and the absolute support of Japan, the attitude of Britain and the United States at this time is also uncertain, Qin Yu is nothing here, but Li Yuanhong's side has already messed up first.
"How can this be?" Li Yuanhong touched the naked, one-headed lawsuit. Not only him, but even Ha Hanzhang, Jin Yongyan and others who came back from Shanghai are all more optimistic about Feng Duan's strength, although the Northeast Army is strong, it only adds up to three provinces. Feng Guozhang and Duan Qirui can influence nearly ten provinces. With Japan's open support, and other countries such as Britain and the United States that have not yet shown obvious tendencies, how can they not worry?
"Yuchen, how do you think this is good?" Li Yuanhong looked at Qin Yu with a little complaint in his eyes, although Qin Yu helped him regain the throne of the president after Zhang Xun's restoration, but Qin Yu could not use the funds from the Northeast to relieve him, and now the Beiyang generals are even more united to sing against him, Li Yuanhong's situation is not better than before.
"Now that Feng Duan is confluent, Cao Kun, and Yan Xishan are silent, even I have to retreat." Qin Yu sighed, "It seems that the entry of the Feng army into the customs has indeed pricked the nerves of many people. Old Beiyang still has some spirit. ”
"The current situation is not better than before, what is Yu Shuai's strategy?" Kim Yong-yan asked.
"Feng Duan's appeal to the local overseers was beyond my expectations, and I entered the customs in order to restore the republic, and if it was only Duan Qirui, it would also help the president maintain the situation. Now that the provincial overseers are tied together, the Northeast is also not capable, President, I can't do anything this time. Qin Yu said a little apologetically, after all, he had given Li Yuanhong hope, and now that Qin Yu wanted to collect troops and return to the customs, it was natural for him to feel guilty about Li Yuanhong.
"Yu Shuai wants to withdraw to Kannai?" Jin Yongyan said out of shape.
"Well, I will withdraw to the Guannai before the end of the month, and the president can also make arrangements as soon as possible, to be honest, I am not afraid of Feng Duan's military strength, but the Northeast Army and the Guannai have started to fight, and it hurts the vitality of the Republic of China.
Qin Yu nodded and said, apologies are apologies, Qin Yu will not let this emotion affect the normal operation of the Northeast. In addition, the change that prompted Qin Yu to withdraw his troops outside the border was that the provisional government in Russia had a tendency to split, the rift between the Mensheviks and the Bolsheviks was getting bigger and bigger, and the anti-war voices in Russia were getting louder and louder. In the future, Bolshevism was in vogue, and Qin Yu certainly would not miss this opportunity to grab profits. Recovering the Middle East Road in Heilongjiang and expelling the White Russian garrison in Heilongjiang is much more meaningful than following Duan Qirui, Feng Guozhang is spending money in Beijing.
Besides, with Japan watching from the side, he would never allow himself to control the central power, and Qin Yu was unwilling to waste the strength of the Feng army on such a large-scale internal attrition. Now Feng Guozhang. Duan Qirui can be combined, once the enemy is lost, the old Beiyang will soon fall back into a situation of scattered sand, and after the gap between Anhui and Anhui, it is the best time for the Northeast Army to enter the customs.
"Yu Shuai has a large army in his hands, he can come when he wants, and he can leave when he wants, naturally no one can keep it. But what should the president do? Jin Yongyan said angrily.
"I can only say that there is no problem with protecting the president's thoughtfulness, and now he is competing with Duan Feng for the central government. It is the national strength of the Republic of China that has been consumed, and I will not take this road no matter what. Qin Yu glanced at Jin Yongyan, among Li Yuanhong's three staff, Jin Yongyan was the most radical and had the least view of the overall situation. In contrast, Zhang Guogan and Ha Hanzhang are much better. Especially Zhang Guogan, who has a strong ability to manage affairs. Although he is Li Yuanhong's secretary, many times he focuses on the current situation, not a certain person's diehard.
"Yuchen, tell me what you think later." Li Yuanhong said a little tiredly. Qin Yu had the intention of returning to the pass, which he couldn't stop.
"I will take the troops back to the customs and leave a regiment for the president, although it is a symbolic force. But there are thousands of people here, and no one will have other crooked thoughts, and I have to talk to Duan Qirui to determine the specific process, and then how about informing the president? Qin Yu said.
"It's fine. Everything will be in the rain for you. Li Yuanhong said, "While I am still in the position now, I can provide you with a convenient place, you can also just bring it up." ”
"Thank you, President." Qin Yu nodded in acknowledgment.
Although Li Yuanhong is not tough, he is also a smart person, only Qin Yu can provide him with a safe way out in front of him, and Li Yuanhong is not stingy to give Qin Yu some returns. If it weren't for Qin Yu, after Zhang Xun's defeat and in the face of Duan Qirui's pressure, Li Yuanhong might not have been able to think of being the president of this kind of wax chewing.

"This time, the Overseer Alliance has exceeded ten provinces, and the fourth brother and I are together to show pressure to the central government, so I don't believe that Qin Yu, a yellow-mouthed kid, can turn the sky upside down." Duan Qirui didn't have a good impression of Qin Yu who was killed in the sky, at this time, the center opposite the Overseer Alliance had the upper hand, Duan Qirui also had a feeling of raising his eyebrows, what about the president, the government decree couldn't get out of Beijing, it was no different from ordinary people.
"I've also heard about this Qin Yu, dozens of planes appeared in the sky over Tianjin a few days ago, and that scene was really staggering." Feng Guozhang was the first to arrive in Tianjin, and just happened to see the group of planes appearing in the sky, "Not to mention anything else, Qin Yu's international vision of keeping pace with the times is probably beyond your reach." ”
"Well, Mukden's plane is indeed a big trouble, only twelve planes directly blew up Zhang Xun's two battalions, not to mention two battalions in that scene, no matter how many more battalions it is, it won't help." Duan Qirui cleaned up his mood and said, "Regarding the matter of the plane, I have already asked the Japanese, the Mukden side is still a bomber, and there are fighters who can restrain it, but it is not a simple matter to buy fighter jets from the great powers, and Japan is already helping to deal with this aspect." ”
"The Japanese have wolf ambitions, so they have to guard against it." Feng Guozhang said. "Didn't you make Li Yuanhong grab his pigtails because of your cooperation with the Japanese last time?"
"The fourth brother is right, I don't know what the Japanese are thinking, and now it's just using each other." Duan Qirui nodded, "There are two major things at the moment, one is the issue of using troops in Hunan, and then the declaration of war on Germany. As long as there is the support of the fourth brother, although Qin Yu is strong, it will not help. ”
"Prime Minister, Vice President, Qin Yu is asking to see you outside the mansion!" The guards were at the door.
"Qin Yu? What is the matter with him here, please let him in. ”
The guards took the order and left, and soon, Qin Yu appeared in the hall with a smile on his face, as if the previous unpleasantness had never existed.
"Prime Minister, Vice President are gathered here, they should have come to visit earlier, but some things have been delayed temporarily, please forgive me."
"Yuchen is busy. I'm glad to have the time to come to me. "Duan Qirui is a person who talks about qualifications, Qin Yu is a generation younger than him, and he doesn't wait for Qin Yu to be humble and call him directly.
"Forgive me, Yushuai, you are young, and your career is no less than that of our old men. It's really embarrassing. In comparison, Feng Guozhang is easier to get along with, without the fierceness of Duan Qirui.
"I'm a straight person, so I don't beat around the bush. Premier Duan, you and the vice president have joined forces, to be honest, I can't help you, but if you want to do anything to me, it is not possible. At least the area around Beijing is within the cover of the Mukden bombers. But against more than ten provinces in the south. It's not what I want, the current Republic of China is chaotic enough, the north and the south are divided, each has its own affairs, if we make trouble again, the situation will inevitably be worse. Qin Yu said.
"According to what you mean, what should you do?" Duan Qirui's face softened, and Qin Yu was able to say this. It's also a bit of a big picture. He and Feng Guozhang joined forces, and they were indeed huge. However, if he really wants to meet Qin Yu's Northeast Army, it is not what he wants.
"I led the troops back to the pass, but this time to pacify Zhang Xun, the Northeast also has merit, so be it, Rehe. Chahar belongs to me, Premier Duan, if the vice president can take the opportunity to integrate the central government and pacify the localities, it will be your ability. As long as you can unify the Guannai, that is also your ability, and the Northeast will never be outside the central power at that time. Qin Yu offered a quid pro quo.
"Rehe, Chahar?" Duan Qirui and Feng Guozhang glanced at each other, but they didn't expect Qin Yu to back down so easily, and the benefits that Qin Yu wanted were also a little unexpected for the two.
"Well, what do the Prime Minister and Vice President think?" Qin Yu asked.
"You no longer interfere in the use of troops in Hunan and the declaration of war on Germany?" Duan Qirui squinted a pair of triangular eyes and said.
"As long as Premier Duan has the ability to unify the grasp of the Guan, I will not be this villain, if the situation is corrupted, it will be difficult to say, but one thing I can promise you, if there is no Premier Duan and Vice President Feng's approval, within two years, Fengjun will never enter the customs." Qin Yu said.
Duan Qirui and Feng Guozhang hesitated for a while, and it didn't take long for them to agree, if you want to say that Rehe and Chahar are not rich places, even if the two don't allow it, Qin Yu wants to forcibly seize it, but it is just a little more wasteful, in comparison, the division of interests in the customs is much greater than that outside the customs.
After initially reaching a compromise of interests with Duan Qirui and Feng Guozhang, Qin Yu said goodbye and left, he didn't have any special friendship with the two, and he didn't have to stay to catch up or anything.
"I didn't expect Qin Yu to pick it up high and put it down gently, the central government has such a big interest, you can give up if you say you give up, you can give up at such a young age, you can have such a break, and your future achievements are really amazing." Feng Guozhang couldn't help but sigh.
"It's true, we are all ready to fight him for a long time, but I didn't expect him to withdraw so neatly, it's really hard to adapt." Duan Qirui also has a somewhat unrealistic feeling now, without Qin Yu's support, the central government will no longer have the strength to stop him, and Li Yuanhong is not in his eyes.
"Did you say that something happened in the northeast that Qin Yu would be in a hurry to go back?" Feng Guozhang guessed.
"It shouldn't be, Fengtian was run like an iron bucket by him, the Jilin army was swallowed in one go, Xu Lanzhou didn't have that ability, and the situation in the northeast has changed greatly, so we won't not be unable to receive news." Duan Qirui shook his head and said.
Feng Guozhang sighed, "That's right, this Qin Yu's behavior is really hard to guess. However, when the Northeast Army withdrew to Guanwai, the rest of the matter was much simpler. ”

"How can this be reasonable, Marshal, Feng Duan's confluence is nothing more than that, our Northeast Army has more than 100,000, and if we pull 70,000 or 80,000 to Guannei, I don't believe that the army in Guannai is iron-beaten." Gao Weiyue said abruptly. "With such a great credit for pacifying Zhang Xun, even if he is not the president, it is enough to be a prime minister, how can he give up all the power of the central government to those old guys who waste resources."
"Marshal, what Senior Commander Gao said is reasonable, I really treat our Northeast Army as a soft persimmon, and there are really few decent troops in the Guannai. Generally, scattered sand and multiple orders are made, even if the strength is superior, it may not be able to defeat our one-minded Northeast Army. Li Yinpei said, "With the strength of the Northeast Army, not to mention completely controlling the central government, it is still possible to divide the power of the central government equally." Don't look at the huge momentum of the Beiyang faction, if they really want to fight, few dare to force their heads to fight against the Northeast Army. ”
"I don't know these truths, okay, don't talk nonsense, you just need to know about the withdrawal outside the customs, have a psychological preparation, be ready to withdraw at any time, and the situation in the future will be clear to you in a year or two." Qin Yu waved his hand.
"Yes, Marshal." When Li Yinpei and Gao Weiyue heard this, they could only salute and withdraw.
"Brother Yin Pei, what kind of medicine do you say is sold in this handsome gourd, it's not easy for us to come to the customs, is it really like this to go back?" Gao Weiyue was a little unwilling in his heart.
"Da Shuai decided to go back, could it be that you want to stay alone?" Li Yinpei said with a smile. 4
"Then which is it, disobey the military order, it's strange if the marshal doesn't pick my skin." Gao Weiyue hurriedly denied it.
"I guess the marshal thinks that the Beiyang unity in the Guannai is only temporary, and when we withdraw to the Guannai, it will be scattered again, let them fight for a period of time, and consume strength, which is the opportunity for our Northeast Army, the ambition of the marshal, how can those people in the Guannai understand, the future enemy of our Northeast Army is the great powers, if there is no certainty of defeating the enemy in one fell swoop, of course, the strength cannot be easily consumed in the internal struggle in the Guannai." Li Yinpei said.
"That's right." Gao Weiyue nodded and said, "The handsome man is also a person who doesn't see rabbits and doesn't scatter eagles, do you say that this withdrawal to the customs is not something else?" ”
"How do I know this, why don't you ask the marshal?" Li Yinpei said with a smile.
"Don't say it, where do I dare to ask, the 1st Division is one of the strongest divisions in our Northeast Army, and the commander is much more important to you, so you shouldn't be blamed if you ask the commander." Gao Weiyue instigated.
"Fuck your shit, you still want to pull me up, I don't want to eat the handsome number. Wait a few days to find out what to do. Li Yinpei scolded with a smile and walked straight forward, no longer paying attention to Gao Weiyue, who was gossiping. (To be continued......)
